Isokinetics accommodate at each centimeter of movement, allowing 100% effort and improvement in each practice. There simply is no faster way to gain the power and endurance to swim faster. We are connected to the same company who designed this for Doc Counsilman and Mark Spitz and we are the same company who wrote the best software in sports, Cool Coach and over 3,000 instructional movies for swimmers, coaches and university level instructors.

Our advantages include but aren’t limited to the ability to take off our isokinetics and put them on the wall or floor for every exercise known to man. This is the only rotating swim bench and the only one with adjustable pulleys for breast, fly, and whip kick and to adapt to every size of swimmer. Add our mirror, add our videos on your iPod or phone, add our cadence tapes and metronome or a Halo. Or build a whole weight room adding our new Leaper. Our newest swim bench will also wirelessly project each movement to your PC or Mac and integrate with our software or anyone else’s. All of our benches come with a front plate for kicking and you can get straps for full speed safe whip kick, leg extensions and curls, a squat bar, etc. If you want to win as a swimmer or as a coach, this swim bench is a requirement. Type “Swim Bench” into Youtube and compare and contrast. Our isos start at $295. Our benches start at 1190.

Benjamin Franklin invented the paddle. Flip Darr popularized it for modern competitive swimming. Now Steve Friederang has worked with many coaches to customize paddles for each event and in some cases, swimmer by swimmer. On the left are Friederang Advanced Sprinter’s Training (FAST) paddles. FAST paddles bent at the front to prevent gliding and three huge sizes to force full body rotation. Our new Backstroke paddles are releasing this week and force body rotation and a bent elbow push. They also require your fingers and wrists to gain power and muscular endurance.
